To ALL WHOM IT MAY conon'sn:

Be it known that I, GiiAnnns A; Moon, of West Brook, in the county ofMiddlesex, in the State of Connecticut, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Tags (01' tickets) used on cloth and other articles of 1merchandise {and I do hereby declare that the following is a full andexaot'description thereof, reference being also had to the accompanyingdrawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon; V

The nature of my invention consists ii -attaching a metallic clasp orfastening at both ends of a single thread, tape, or string, one'of whichfastenings is attached to the card, (or ticket,) and the othertethefcloth;

Figure 3 represents the clasp to which thecard is attached, it being athin piece of brass, or other suitable metal, having upright teeth atthe sides, which are passed through the card and presseddown flat,'th'nsfastening it to the string. The string may be clasped either beneath oron the face of the card;

Figure 2 represents the part (or claspfwhich is attached to the clethfItisso formed that by pinching up one end or side, the string is fastenedto it. On the otherside, tropposite-edge or end, is a pointed uprighttongue or pin, which is pushed throngh'the cloth and bent down,thus'clasning it.

Figure 1 represents the tag in use.-

The object of my invention is, to; render thetag more convenient anddurable, and more neat in appearance than those in use. It-being morereadily and securely tucked hetween the folds of a roll of cloth,it isless liable to be mashed, or chaifed ofi in handling, or intransporting, and is more, neat in appearance than thetag attached bywire solely.
